A shot from last March.

 

I used this image for the cover of a book I designed last march.

 

Nectar Magazine has gotten more submissions for “Most of Us Die” so far than we got in total for “Evidence of Home”. This issue is going to be big. Submissions are open until June.

On a personal note, this semester has been really intense. I’ve got 3 part time jobs, a volunteer job, and starting this magazine. On top of that, being a full time student and trying to work on my thesis. It’s tiring but when I accomplish a lot, it is very satisfying. I’m excited to graduate and be able to relax without feeling guilty.

This image began what would become my prison work. I decided it did not fit the project, but I can’t get it out of my head. This was taken at the Scottish Rite Temple in Santa Fe.


Summer update and Zozobra 2011

As an update for the summer, I spent it between Conway, Arkansas and Springdale, Arkansas: going to concerts, spending time with family and friends, and trying to beat the heat.

 

Recently I went to the annual burning of Zozobra during the Fiestas de Santa Fe. Zozobra is a huge (around 40 ft. tall) marionette that personifies all of the gloom of the year. By burning him, people can rid themselves of their own gloom.

It’s a huge event and here is a little taste from this year:

Currently I am working on my thesis, which will be a continuation of my “abstracted skin” work. I’m working with a 4×5 camera and printing black and white gelatin silver. Updates on that soon!


Caddilac Ranch

Located about 8 miles west of Amarillo right on I-40, these ten cars are a constantly changing installation since 1974. I try and photograph every time I drive through. Even if it’s only a week or two later, the cars are always completely transformed.

Visual Sketches are new pieces that I am working on or old work I’m drawn back to.
